MUNSHI PREMCHAND (1880-1936)


Munshi Premchand (July 31, 1880 - October 8, 1936), whose real name was Dhanpat Rai had born on a small village 'Lamhi' near Varanasi. Married at fifteen to a girl from a neighboring village but the marriage was a failure and, when Premchand left the village in 1899, the girl returned to her village. Several years later, in 1906, in response to an advertisement in a local paper from a man who wanted to marry off his child-widow daughter, he married a second time to Shivrani Devi.

In 1921, he answered Mahatma Gandhi's call and resigned from his government job. In the same year his son, Amrit Rai, was born; Rai also became a writer, and wrote a highly regarded biography of his father.


The main characteristic of Premchand's writings is his interesting story-telling and use of simple language. His novels describe the problems of the rural peasant classes. He avoided the use of highly Sanskritized Hindi but rather he used the dialect of the common people.


Here is a site to read his stories online
http://munshi-premchand.blogspot.com/

'My Life and Times' is a unique autobiography by Munshi Premchand, recreated from his works by the man regarded as Premchand’s Boswell, Madan Gopal.


The best short story I have read yet is 'do bailon kee katha'. I really can't stop appreciating the author and fallen in love of him after reading this story only. Please click here if you want to read 'Do bailon kee katha'

=============================================================
NOVELS
=============================================================


Godaan (HINDI)
This is Premchand’s last completed novel, is considered his best work. It is the story of a changing people, hungry and semi-starved, yet hopeful and optimistic, in the truest spirit of the age it represents. Hori gets a cow but pays with his life for it. After his death, the village priests demand a cow from his widow to bring his soul to peace.


Gaban (HINDI)
Gaban, first published in 1931, five years before Premchand's death, gives us a fascinating glimpse of north Indian society, and especially of the author's own Kayasth community. Ramnath, the morally weak but physically charming son of a poor but honest government clerk in Allahabad, marries the beautiful Jalpa. Her passion for jewellery, inculcated from early childhood, involves her husband in increasingly
complex financial and personal relationships, and eventually leads to his apparent disgrace, and his flight from home.


Nirmala (HINDI)
First published in 1928, this poignant novel by Premchand is a classic text of the woman as victim. Young and vulnerable, Nirmala is married off to an elderly widower by her mother who cannot afford to pay a dowry for her. A forbidden relationship between the young bride and one of her three stepsons seems inevitable.


The Second Wife (ENGLISH)
An English translation of Premchand's well-known novel Nirmala. Charming and cultivated, Nirmala’s only sin is her failure to get a husband who would accept her without a dowry. She is married off to a widower. The realistic dramatization of the family events is peculiarly Indian, but based on universal human experience, transcending geographical boundaries and barriers of culture.



Sevasadan
One of Premchand’s most successful Hindi novels, Sevasadan is a bold statement on the political and religious debates about marriage, sexuality, and prostitution, at a time when Indian Women were being held up as standard-bearers of a nation in chains. A hugely popular novel, Sevasadan went through several editions after its first publication in 1918. It was made into a film in 1938 with M S Subbulakshmi in the lead role.

Nice Quotes by Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC)

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.



A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.


Success is not about reaching your destination before everyone, but how you reach your destination
